From the Driver’s Seat:
Erik Jones: “Richmond has been a pretty good track to me in the past in the Cup Series and in the Xfinity Series. Last year we had one of our best finishes, but the record books don’t show it. I think we can go out and have a good run this weekend and leave with a top five finish and have a good shot at the win. We had a good run last week at Darlington and I know we have what it takes to win, we just need everything to line up and fall in place at the right time. It should be a fun race and I’m looking forward to getting a strong finish for IRWIN for their last race with us this season.”

From the Driver’s Seat: Erik Jones
Erik Jones: “I’m always excited to go to Bristol. It’s been a great track to me for a lot of years and I’ve been really close to a Cup win there the last few years. Hopefully this is the one where we can put it all together and end up in Victory Lane. We’ve always got really good speed and been fast and always feel like we are in contention for a win, so hopefully we can keep it clean all day and get ourselves in position to have a shot at the win late in the race. Excited to get there, definitely our first short track in a while and I think we’ll have a good shot to go out there and grab a win.”
